Background

Lerris was the son of a Brennen, a lowborn sailor from a small town along the coast of Shipbreaker Bay in the stormlands. The last of five sons, Lerris did not take to the sail as dutifully as his brothers. He would have told you himself that he was terrified of the sea and the storms that it would bring, but a wise man would have seen that it was his father's storms that most frightened the boy. He found solace climbing trees and swimming in streams. Throughout his youth, he would often slink into the rainwood for days at a time to pursue his own curiosity. Even as he grew into a young man, Lerris clung to childhood stories of spirits and strange creatures that a man might meet deep in the woods. At a fateful crossing in the forest, Lerris met a man who told fascinating stories that he had never heard before. Fiohr claimed he was traveling North to Storm's End, but needed a place to shelter from an oncoming storm. Lerris brought him home to ask if they could give him a place to sleep, but at first sight of the man clad in black Brennen only laughed. As commanded, he had sent two sons to fight in the Blackfyre rebellion, but only one had returned from Redgrass field. He had become spiteful in his grief. Brennen agreed to give the wandering crow a night of shelter, if he would take his cowardly son with him on his return to The Wall. As a new Brother of the Night's Watch, Lerris prayed only to escape the Eastern sea but his prayers were heard by a cruel God that sent him to the Western most castle on the Wall where war was being waged. Under the ferocious command of Glover, Lerris and his fellow recruits were rushed through their vows, assigned to the rangers, and armed against the nearby Wildlings. After Glover's Last Raid, where Lerris witnessed the murder of Glover at the hands of Ser Jarden Berk, Lerris was reassigned to the Builders. Still green and skittish, Lerris took well to his Builder's training where once again he could find solace in days spent climbing and exploring while he searched for all the stories hidden in the castle.

Recent Events

With new recruits come to Giant's Chair, Lerris sought to prove himself in the combat drills by fighting one of the younger lads. Unfortunately, the young man knew his way around a training sword and shamed Lerris in front of the yard. Lerris was spared further embarrassment when he was called aside by Commander Dondarrion and tasked with inspecting the castle for signs of structural damage that the spring thaw. Lerris was given a detail of builders and a ranger escort lead by Ser Jarden Burk to accomplish the task. As the party left the interior of Giant's Chair to begin the inspection, they were met by a returning ranger, who had reported a patrol had been attacked by a monster in the woods. At the orders of Ser Burk, the party made for the woods to rescue the patrol and hunt down the monster. Upon entry into the woods, Lerris spotted a group of Wildlings hiding in the trees and managed to warn the Night's Watch. With some tense negotiation, the groups were able to find they had common cause in finding and destroying the monster. With some tracking, they managed to catch up to the creature. Lerris used his talent for climbing to scale a tree and flush out the beast, a great white ape. Though near paralyzed with fear, Lerris managed to overcome his terror enough to help kill the monster. After slaying it, the hunting party heard horns indicating rangers in trouble and rode to assist. Lerris lost the group and came upon a Weirwood tree, which seemed to speak to him. Heeding the crow of a blood-eyed raven, he scaled tree and determined several more apes were loose in the woods. He rejoined the ranging party and warned them of the danger. With this knowledge, Wildlings and Night's Watch parted ways, with the sworn brothers retreating to Giant's Chair.

Appearance

He is often clad in black lacquered brigandine armor, the heft and bulk of which keeps his pace slow and deliberate.

Background

The third son of Aetris and Guinevere Dondarrion, Rael's fate was decided for him long before he was born. Third sons in the Dondarrion House go to the Wall. Honor demands. Honor supplies. After the celebration of his sixteenth naming day he was sent north. At the Wall, Rael got a swift, brutal education on interpersonal relationships, psychology, criminality, regional politics, history, and cryptozoology. Rael quickly made a name for himself by being in the right place at the right time. Often his watches weren't quiet. Keen eyes, a stubborn temperament, and a good sword arm saw him through the long dark of winter on the Wall. He saw much as a steward, maybe a little too much, but his brothers respect him, despite his faults. The commander of Giant's Chair is a superstitious fellow, slightly paranoid, willful, can't tell a lie to save his life, and has become sedentary with his age and command. The stormlander has a good head for running a keep, accounting, and is a decent orator. An heir to a house that had no need of him, Dondarrion finds himself managing brothers to glory or ruin as a hot summer comes with as much peril as the coldest of winters.

Recent Events

After the death of Darrin Glover, Dondarrion was given command of Giant's Chair, an outpost beyond the Shadowtower and the gorge. Glover had severely depleted the castle's manpower in his attempt to purge the area of all Wildling influence. Dondarrion, not wishing to lose the castle to a retaliatory siege, has opted to slowly and surely bring the garrison back to full strength, not upset the natives any further, and not spook the horses. This approach has been mostly well-received by the men, but has not been without it's setbacks. While focusing on training the new recruits, the effect of the spring thaw was somewhat neglected until a sheet of ice cost the lives of 2 men under Dondarrion's newly assumed command. The commander ordered an assessment of the walls to ensure no sever structural damage or further loss of life would ensue from the thaw. This survey however, was disrupted by several rangers running afoul of monsters in the woods beyond Giant's Chair. Dondarrion was forced to leave the castle to range forth to see which survivors could be located and was met along the path by Ser Jarden Burk and Recruit Lerris, the pair he'd charged with surveying the castle. They noted that several creatures were emerging from the woods and had slain several sworn brothers before escape had been secured. Dondarrion sounded the retreat and resolved to beseech Castle Black for more recruits if danger was on the horizon.

Background

Formerly apprenticed to the midwife of the Clan Between River and Sky, Runa took over as chief healer after the massacre that was led by the late Commander Glover. Though she was born small for a Skywatcher--many of whom can proudly trace their lineage back to Chief Krazuk, the giant--she pushed herself so hard to keep up with her peers as a child that she injured her own shoulder and was forced to reevaluate her strengths. She still trains diligently with spears, knives, and bow; but strives to avoid conflict and killing whenever possible, and she has a soft spot for other misfits and runts of the litter. Her confidence has grown greatly in the past year and a half, and she knows the clan respects her healing skills, but she's not fully comfortable calling herself a leader just yet. She admires Yarell a great deal, looking to the older woman's experience for guidance, even as she hopes to find new ways to continue her study of nature and the healing arts.

Recent Events

While encamped near the crow castle Giant's Chair, Runa assisted fellow clanswoman Riva with birthing her child, far earlier than expected. This placed the clan in danger of being found by one of their several enemies. With the report of crows moving towards the woods, Runa was forced to relocate the Free Folk to a less exposed location, lest harm to come to them.

Background

Yarrell is a spearwife of the People Between the River and Sky. She had a husband, Bear, and 3 children. All of them were lost in the final Purge of the Skywatchers. Yarrell fought and nearly lost against Lord Darrin Glover in that final battle, but was saved by the intervention of Ser Jarden Burk. In the intervening time, she has tamed a Shadowcat named Cloud.

Recent Events

Yarell assisted Runa with the delivery of Riva's baby. After this, she received news from scouts that crows were headed for the woods. Taking several others, Yarrell moved to observe the rangers and figure out what was happening. The party was spotted by Recruit Lerris, and forced to interact with the Night's Watch, after negotiations and the new information of a monster in the woods, a tentative agreement was formed between the 2 parties to hunt down the monster. Using their knowledge of the woods, the wildlings lead the group to the creature, which turned out to be a great white ape. Yarrell successfully speared the creature, but was grabbed and bitten by it. With the aid of Cloud and the others of the hunting party, the ape was slain. After learning a whole pack of the monsters were loose in the woods, the wildlings parted from the Night Watch to return to camp. When they arrived, they found Runa had struck the camp out of an abundance of caution, likely moving to the shore to complete the clan's birthing rituals.

Background

The heir to his house, Jarden spent his youth learning the affairs of the Riverlands, and how to defend his family's portion of the Kingsroad. He also spent time traveling to tournaments in the realm, including the storied Reach tournament of 168, where he was unhorsed by Sanah the Fang of Bear Island. A chance encounter with Princess Daena Targaryen forever tied his fortunes with that of her line. When the call went out for supporters of the Black Dragon, Ser Jarden pledged House Burk to the cause. The knight was on the losing side of the Redgrass and was forced to choose between the Wall and the headsman's block in King's Landing. Rather than die, he chose to take the black, leaving his family to pick up the pieces as he was sent North. Once there, he established himself as man of useful skills, securing the post of Giant's Chair and rising in it's ranks to become it's leading ranger. There, he had a reputation as a tough man, but one who would do what was possible to make sure as many brothers as possible survived their watch. During the command of Darrin Glover, Jarden distinguished himself and earned a place amongst Glover's inner circle. In the final battle of the Purge of the Skywatchers, Jarden murdered Glover in the chaos of the battle, seemingly with no provocation. In the interim between commanders Glover and Dondarrion, Ser Jarden served as interim commander of Giant's Chair. His tenure was thankfully quiet and uneventful, choosing to give the wildlings their space and rangings to a minimum to conserve manpower.

Recent Events

With the new commander came a fresh batch of recruits. Jarden sought to test the mettle of the fresh faces and set up combat drills in the yard. Despite some lack of enthusiasm from Recruit Lerris, the drills seemed to proceed well. This came to an end with a sheet of ice falling from the giant's chair to crush 2 recruits beneath it. After recovering the bodies for burning, Jarden was assigned by Commander Dondarrion to put together a team of rangers to accompany Recruit Lerris' team of builders in surveying Giant's Chair for any possible structural faults the thaw could exacerbate. Upon their departure from the outpost, the ranging was met by a brother returning from patrol in the woods to the north, bearing the torn remains of another sworn brother, claiming he'd been killed by a monster. At Jarden's insistence, the ranging changed to a rescue operation, with the party riding into the woods after wayward patrol. Upon entering the woods, they encounter Yarell and the other people Between the River and Sky. After explaining the situation, a tentative alliance was formed between the wildlings and the Night's Watch to hunt down the monster. A few hours of tracking yielded up the seeming culprit, a great white ape with a head like a skull. Between the spears of the wildlings and Jarden's swift attacks from horseback, the creature was slain with minimal harm to the party. However, it soon proven that that ape was not the only one in the woods. In a panicked flight, Jarden was forced to leave behind another half dozen men seemingly under attack from a whole pack of the monstrous apes, in addtion to parting ways with the wildlings over mutual differences. While exiting the woods, the remains of the ranging party ran into Commander Dondarrion, who had entered the woods to directly order the withdrawal to Giant's Chair.

Robb

Ser Robb the Red, born Robb Flowers, is the newest landed knight in service of House Greenmont. Previously, he was squire to Lord Lucos Greenmont, and a member of the Devoted. He grew up in Fox Hollow, where he was best friends with Ser Alfred Wyld. For most of his life, he lived in the town's inn or on the streets, and stole food and coin to survive.
Robb was an NPC played by Sam, later played by Don only during the Season Three prologue scene. The Faceless Man, often disguised as Robb, was played by Don.

Appearance and Character Edit

Robb was always a small lad, with a lithe frame more like his mother's, while his face, red hair, and pale blue eyes took after his father. He was given the nickname "Red Robb" by his mother at an early age.

Red Robb appears to many to be lazy and unambitious, and this is true to a point. He does not hate nobles and the wealthy, but in fact pities them: Robb sees value in living a simple life. He believes simple people have the best stories and are the happiest, despite often being oppressed by others. Robb sees the life of a knight or lord as a sad, isolating existence without true freedom. For this reason, despite his natural gifts and several years of training, Robb is not a much better swordsman than the average soldier.

Recently, however, Robb is beginning to show signs of personal growth and change. He never had parents who cared nearly as much for him as Lord Lucos and Lord Olyver did. He is openly grateful for his opportunities and to not have to steal to eat any longer. He is a loyal and somewhat brave man, with the surprising ability to empathize with other people, mediate situations, and talk his way out of trouble.

Childhood Edit

Robb Flowers is the bastard child of Jennie, a prostitute from Fox Hollow, and a fiery-haired sellsword from the North named Kegren, who claimed to have wildling blood in him.

In his youth, his mother took care of him as best she could. Robb learned to steal before his tenth namesday, and helped provide for him and his mother by making use of his quiet charm and natural aptitude as a thief. Kegren visited infrequently, often breaking promises to take Robb hunting or camping. Kegren had a reputation for being a gregarious, charming, but troublesome man who drank too much for his own good.

Oftentimes, Robb's mother would send him away from their room at the inn, because of her work. Robb hated being the son of a prostitute, and would sometimes run away for days at a time, sleeping in a nook under Fox Hollow's great stone bridge just outside of town. There, Robb dreamed of a different life, a life of being a sellsword like his father, a life of adventure where he could take what he wanted and no one would dare look down on him.

Though he was a quiet and shy young man, Robb made many friends in Fox Hollow, including a tomboy named Alex, another urchin named Tuck, and Kyrie the Blacksmith -- whom he looked up to as a wise, tough, older sister. His closest friend was Alfred Wyld, a boy his own age who hunted and visited Fox Hollow often to trade. Though he did not hunt himself, Robb would hike into the woods and accompany Alfred on hunting trips. In turn, Robb showed Alfred all of his favorite hiding places in Fox Hollow: there was the secret room at the inn where you could spy through holes on patrons and listen to their conversations, the old abandoned watchtower that you could climb to look out over the entire town, and the nook under the bridge that Robb called his "safe place".

Robb and Alfred remained friends throughout their childhood and into adulthood.

Adulthood and Service to House Greenmont Edit

Robb's mother died of syphillis when he was 14 years old. His father Kegren returned to town to settle down upon receiving the news, and took Robb in for nearly a year before Kegren was conscripted to fight in Greenmont's army during The First Blackfyre Rebellion. Like many able-bodied men, Kegren died during the war, leaving Robb an orphan.

Robb continued to survive as he approached adulthood by stealing. Ultimately, he was caught, and sentenced to hang in 198 AC. Alfred, returning from the war having been knighted for heroism during the Battle of Redgrass Field, petitioned Lord Lucos to stay Robb's sentence and take him on as a squire. The bed-ridden Lord Lucos agreed.

Robb knew nothing of military service, knighthood or being a squire, and so Lucos ordered Robb to also serve in the Devoted, Greenmont's scouting regiment. Robb proved capable, intelligent, and devoted to his second chance -- but showed no ambition and a slight laziness towards his studies. Still, Lucos seemed fond of the young man, and kept Robb close.

Events of After the Fyre Edit

Robb was with Lucos when he died during his travel to Mara Greenmont's wedding to Alester Oakheart. Robb delivered Lord Greenmont's final words and the news of his death to Lady Mara and Ser Olyver Yronwood at Old Oak. Afterwards, Robb traveled with Olyver to Fox Hollow, and then to rescue Lady Myria from Lord Edmyn Blackmont at Vulture's Roost. During this time, Olyver teased Robb often, encouraged him to show more ambition in his life, and the two became friends on the road.

After returing to Fox Hollow, Lady Marzia Greenmont knighted Robb out of necessity, so that he would have the authority to act on behalf of the house. Ser Robb the Red was sent north to Highgarden with a mission to deliver a message to Symon Greenmont, and see the young Maester travel to Castle Blackmont to help negotiate. In Highgarden, Robb was forced to defend Symon from an attack by corrupt local guards working on behalf of an unknown faction. Robb risked his life to help Symon escape, but was badly beaten and captured himself.

After capture, Robb was tortured in a dungeon below Highgarden, where he professed everything he knew about House Greenmont and its current politics. He spoke after of a man who watched many of the interrogations, but never spoke -- a man wearing the black copper Dornish armor of a House Yronwood knight. A mysterious bald man with a scarred face, who claimed to be acting on behalf of House Greenmont, killed several of the dungeon guards and helped Robb escape captivity.

Since his escape, Ser Robb returned south alone to Fox Hollow, where he admitted everything that happened in Highgarden to Lady Marzia Greenmont. There, he learned of Lord Olyver's murder and the return of his dear friend, Ser Alfred. Robb has sworn to do whatever he came to "make things right" and be a better knight to House Greenmont.

Robb is rumored to have had a tryst with Lorelai, a prostitute who is the daughter of his departed mother's best friend. He is also rumored to owe several of Fox Hollow's inn and tavern patrons gambling debts. Perhaps for these reasons, he seems eager to avoid the local watering holes.

Death and the Faceless Man Edit

It was later revealed to Myria Greenmont that Robb was murdered by a Faceless Man assassin with no name, who appeared to Robb as a mysterious bald man with a scarred face. Robb never escaped Highgarden, and the Faceless Man successfully infiltrated House Greenmont for reasons currently unknown. disguised as Robb.

During their travels with Ser Alfred and the guard Bryar, the Faceless Man helped rescue Myria Greenmont during the rebellion at House Yronwood involving the Knights of the Bloodroyal, Lord Horatio Yronwood's loyal soldiers, and Prince Maron Martell's war fleet. During the party's escape, the Faceless Man assassinated Ser Alfred in cold blood.

The Man with No Name revealed himself at night, by the ocean-side to Myria, showing himself to be an ancient man from Lhaz. While he discussed philosophy and Myria's wishes for the future, he expressed a desire to reclaim his lost name, suggesting that he had decided to go rogue against his religious order: the House of Black and White. Their conversation led to the assassin exchanging a promise to kill Maron Martell for Myria, in exchange for her promise to give him anything he asked for when next they saw each other.

The Faceless Man made his way to Prince Maron's ship out at sea, but it is unknown whether or not he assassinated the prince of Dorne. Maron is believed to still be alive, and no report of an assassination attempt ever circulated the realm. However, it is possible that the Faceless Man's assassination attempt was successful, and that it is he -- and not Maron -- that sits on the throne of Dorne.

"Simple folk got the best stories. Their heads aren't stuffed with nonsense about what fork goes where, or what's right and proper to say in front of a Lord or a Lady. They just live, knowing life don't last nearly long enough, and we got to make the most of what time we have."

Samwyl Tarly is the first son of Lord Glendon Tarly and the heir to House Tarly, a powerful military house in the Reach that survived being on the losing side of the Blackfyre Rebellion with little loss of influence or power. Samwyl was raised at Horn Hill and taught to ride, hunt, and fight from a young age. His education was diverse and included painting, dancing, art history, reading and writing Valyrian, and the customs and politics of the Westerosi court. He did not take much to any of his studies as a boy or a young man and was often berated by his harsh teachers and his father for being lazy and unmotivated.

Samwyl is an energetic and jovial young man, whose simple charm and earnest demeanor cause him to over-step in matters of politics and society as often as they help him escape those who might scrutinize his behavior and actions. His youthful disposition and appearance belie his brutish size and strength, and despite his father's admonishment, he often stoops to make himself seem smaller and less threatening.

Samwyl is played by Don.

Appearance Edit

Samwyl is a very tall, athletic man, standing at just over six feet and four inches. He is extremely strong and fast for his size, which amongst his friends has earned him the nickname of The Blonde Bear of Horn Hill. His skin is fair, his eyes are a bright sky blue, and his long, curly golden hair is well-kept and maintained. Though his jawline is strong, his face still has some of its youthful roundness.

Samwyl is a fashionable man, whose love for wearing extravagant robes and armor often strikes others as flamboyant or garish. He prefers the colors green, white and gold, and most of his clothing bears embroidery resembling bows, arrows, horns, and other symbols related to hunting and House Tarly.

Samwyl first served beside his father in the Battle of Vulture's Roost, though he remained with the reserve forces and never actually engaged directly in combat. After the battle, he traveled to Fox Hollow with his childhood friend and close companion, the young Lord Alester Oakheart. During their time together, he had a casual affair with Alyster that culminated in a tryst with both Alyster and his wife, Lady Mara Oakheart.

After the tryst, during a feast at Fox Hollow where Lord Olyver Yronwood and Lady Marzia Greenmont announced their betrothal, Samwyl was involved in a conspiracy propagated by Alester and Lord Costayne to break hospitality, interrupt the feast, and arrest Olyver for his alleged murder of Lord Gormund Peake after the Battle of Vulture's Roost. Samwyl, not fancying himself a leader, gave Alester command over the Tarly knights camped in Fox Bollow. Alester ordered the murder of four Greenmont guards outside of the feast hall, then surrounded the guests of the feast, including Olyver and a handful of the Greenmont guards, while they were eating.

During the confrontation, Alester ordered the Tarly knights to attack. In the brief skirmish that followed, Samwyl witnessed a heavily wounded and unarmored Lord Olyver single-handedly slay seven Tarly knights in the span of a few seconds. Samwyl fled the scene, wretched in the hall outside, and escaped to wait at the road for Alester's return.

Though Olyver was outnumbered, overcome, and ultimately perished from his wounds, Alester and the Tarly knights were forced to retreat and flee from Fox Hollow. Samwyl traveled with Mara and Alester to Highgarden, where he remained silent for days on end. He eventually broke that silence during his own trial at Highgarden, giving an honest account of what he witnessed during the massacre at Fox Hollow.

At the trial's conclusion, Samwyl was not found culpable or guilty for the massacre at Fox Hollow.

The Bachelor Heir Edit

After Alester was sentenced in 199 AC to be exiled to the dungeons of Red Keep in King's Landing for ten years, Samwyl returned to Horn Hill. The scandal in Fox Hollow caused his arranged marriage with Lady Rowan to be disavowed, and Samwyl returned to being a bachelor. After a fierce argument with his father, Samwyl traveled to Old Town to search for Symon Greenmont, finding him returned to his studies as a Maester. Samwyl told Symon of Mara's miscarriage and informed him of what occurred at Fox Hollow. In exchange for his promise not to reveal Symon's location to anyone but Mara herself, Symon wrote several letters that Samwyl made sure to deliver by raven: one to Mara in Old Oak and one to Marzia in Fox Hollow.

After Mara's year of mourning was complete, Samwyl traveled to Old Oak to visit her, bringing her news of her brother Symon, and sharing with her Symon's growth and maturity. Seeing Mara unhappy and distraught after losing her child and Alester's imprisonment, Samwyl convinced her to travel with him up and down the west coast of the continent. Their travels turned into drunken escapades from Casterly Rock to the Arbor. During the trip, Samwyl and Mara became very close friends, sharing their dreams of the future, opening up about their beliefs and fears, and shirking their responsibilities to their family in exchange for freedom, adventure, and revelry. When their ship was attacked by pirates from the Iron Islands, Mara saved Samwyl's life by knocking a raider out with a frying pan. Afterwards, Samwyl vowed to take his studies and training more seriously as a knight.

The Battle of the Brimstone Edit

In the years after his travels with Mara Oakheart, Samwyl earnestly pursued studies in riding, hunting, swordsmanship, and warfare -- though he continued to avoid courtly politics and other, more intellectual, studies. He continued to visit Mara, at least once each year, oftentimes meeting her somewhere between Horn Hill and Old Oak. Their friendship sparked many rumors at court of their having a wild affair, and neither of them did much to quell those rumors. During their time together, their talks began to turn towards politics and how they wish they could change Westeros, throw off its outdated customs, and bring true peace to the Reach.

In 204 AC, Samwyl marched with his father into Dorne, with a host that included soldiers from houses Dondarrion, Selmy, Swann and Merryweather, along with several Reacher mercenary companies. The host invaded Dorne in pursuit of rebels and bandits. This march was Samwyl's first time ever fighting in a true battle, and his first time ever killing another man. Samwyl fought well and the host seemed unstoppable, until it reached the edge of the Brimstone River. There, in the height of summer in the Dornish desert, many Reacher soldiers died of stroke, dehydration, starvation, and disease. By the time they reached the river, a small Dornish host and cavalry led by houses Uller and Quorgyle engaged with the Reachers, resulting in a massacre now known as the Battle of the Brimstone. Though the Marcher Lords fought with determination, the Dornishmen's sand steeds and understanding of the harsh terrain caused the Reachers to be routed. During the long retreat out of Dorne, Samwyl's allies were continuously hunted and harried by an ever-dwindling House Uller skirmishing party.

The Battle of the Brimstone harrowed Samwyl. He watched his comrades' skin melt to their armor in the Dornish heat and witnessed killing on a massive scale up-close. He cut down many Dornishmen himself during the campaign, and afterward admitted openly that those men he slew were as honorable as he is, and did not deserve to die. After recovering at Horn Hill, Samwyl left to visit Symon Greenmont at Oldtown. There, he broke down about the pressures of fighting, leading men, and being groomed to be Lord of House Tarly. Symon advised Samwyl that knighthood and the courts are a lie, and that only by a person's actions may he be judged.

The Tournament at Fox Hollow Edit

Samwyl and Symon traveled from Oldtown to meet with Mara Oakheart on the road. Together, along with a forward company of Tarly soldiers, the trio traveled to Fox Hollow to accept an invitation from Marzia Greenmont to attend a grand feast, ball, and tournament. Despite his involvement in the massacre at Fox Hollow, and persisting rumors about his affair with Mara Oakheart, Samwyl arrived at the tourney grounds and announced his intentions to make peace with House Greenmont and to participate in the tournament.

"I cannot change what has passed. I cannot make my father a gentler man, or make Jon Oakheart not hate the Dornish people. I cannot clean the blood on my hands. All that I can do, now and forever, is swear that I will never abandon you, and I will strive to be a better man with each day that passes."

" While I still breathe, you will never be alone."

Symon Greenmont

Symon Greenmont is the third-born son of Lord Lucos Greenmont and his first wife, Lady Alyse Greenmont. He has two older brothers, Lann and Rylon, and two younger sisters, Mara and Myria.

Symon was played by Jason.

The majority of Symon's features are soft, save for his sharp nose, strong jaw, and piercing green eyes, all of which he inherited from his father. His skin is fair in texture but tan in hue, and his frame is tightly constructed, in contrast to his older brothers, who towered over him. His hair is mahogany in color and flows to his shoulder blades, when uninhibited by the golden ribbon he commonly uses to keep the wilder wisps away from his field of vision. The ghost of a beard clings to his face most days.

His clothing generally opposes the basic conventions of his fellow Maesters, as he rejected their sullen robes long ago. Instead, Symon's style is inspired by the many merchants, pirates, and prostitutes he has associated with during his time in Oldtown. While the flowing nature of the base fabrics he wears may suggest his status as a Maester, the manner by which they are colored, lengthened, tied, and layered clearly set him apart.

From an early age, Symon demonstrated an acute curiosity, and was instructed in etiquette and other courtly subjects by his mother, Alyse Greenmont, and learned the basics of history and horsemanship through the many hours spent under the tutelage of Ser Donnel of Babbelbrook and Ser Olyver Yronwood. These lessons were further reinforced by the many Archmaesters he has studied under during his time at the Citadel. The majority of links he has received consist of either Copper, signifying mastery in various Histories and Legends, or Fool's Gold, signifying mastery in the workings of the Underworld.

In manner, Symon is something of a genteel-yet-social butterfly, engaging regularly in raucous activities and trysts which would typically befit a noble lord's third-born son, while dutifully fulfilling the responsibilities inherent to his station as a Maester. Though he is a proven academic, the stuffiness oftentimes associated with that achievement is wholly absent from his personality.

As the third Greenmont son, Symon was viewed throughout his youth with a somewhat benevolent gaze. His responsibilities, such as they could be during his early years, were mainly devoted to the study of etiquette. However, he took to these lessons rather quickly and demonstrated a voracious curiosity that his mother, Alyse, identified as raw intelligence, unfocused and pure. She understood, after some discussion with her peers and most trusted advisors, most notably Donnel of House Babblebrook and Olyver Yronwood, that such a mind needed to be nurtured by means that could not be secured among the mountains.

And so it was that after the birth of his younger sister Mara, the Lady Alyse implored her dearest husband to allow Symon to travel to the Citadel and study with the Maesters there - perhaps to even become a Maester himself, as so many third sons often do amongst the noble families of the Reach. After some 3 years of convincing, Lord Lucos relented and as such, Symon was sent to Oldtown, serving as a Novice at the tender age of 9. For another 3 years, his mind raced through those ancient halls with near boundless energy and wonder, and at age 12 (on the eve of his 13th nameday), he received his first link - a Copper sun signifying a comprehensive understanding of Dawn Age Mythologies.

The letter he wrote to his dear mother detailing this accomplishment was received shortly before the birth of his youngest sister, Myria. Mercifully, she was able to write a voluminous response telling him not only how proud she was, but detailing to her precious boy the many joys she wished to impart as a reward for his hard work, had she the strength to return to Oldtown, just to run her fingers through his brown hair again as she had so many times before, just to hold him close to her breast if only for a moment, just to plant one more kiss upon his tender cheek.

Lord Lucos came to Symon shortly thereafter, and offered to withdraw the boy from the Citadel so that he might return and pay his respects to his "All-Mother" (an affectionate term that Symon had given her, after misunderstanding a servant girl who, when he was 5 and asked where babies came from, had replied that it was "S'all mother, child, don't you worry your head about the rest."). At first confused, then angered, then finally anguished, Symon did agree to return home so that he might kneel amidst the Godsgrove and pay homage to his mother - against the advice of the Maesters who argued that such an act would stunt his potential. It was therefore agreed that the boy would return to the Citadel after a short time. During this period, he refused to see or hold the baby Myria, and not even his brothers could bring a smile to his face.

After returning to Oldtown, he flung himself into his work, distracting his mind from the tragedy with course upon course, the majority of which held little to no interest to him. Yet with the arrival of his 16th nameday came a face unforgettable - it belonged to Tamora of House Hightower. To his brothers, he wrote of a "woman of infinite wonder" that he pined for constantly, to the point where he took it upon himself to edit entire volumes of Dornish poetry (a favorite of hers) in order to woo the girl - an act that saw him gain two more Copper links in that year alone. After the toil of the tomes, she awarded him his first kiss, but they drifted apart just as suddenly, as she was soon after sent away, for reasons unclear to him.

However, so invigorated by the love he felt brewing within, he carried this passion into the next year, after he found himself longing for the embrace of one Isolde Fletcher, a lowborn daughter whose fixation with the stars and constellations lead Symon to pursue a Bronze link. So impressed was Isolde with his (admittedly limited) knowledge of the heavens, and so smitten by his (exhaustively poetic) descriptions of their mythic origins, that she resolved to bestow a suitable reward unto this handsome Acolyte. After the two confessed to their (completely obvious) mutual attraction, it seemed only fitting that the stars in their eyes would crash together in a sense beyond a kiss, the first time for each of them, if only to split apart almost immediately after.

For a time, Symon was content to study and build upon his knowledge. Indeed, he even secured for himself a Yellow Gold link so that he might work as a manager of accounts in the offices of a Marcher Merchant - after all, when one establishes a rapport with a certain Merchant's bastard daughter, perhaps named Ramona, and when one finds out she lives above the storeroom that a manager of accounts is responsible for, sleeping in the most comfortable bed, surrounded by all the wine she could ever want, just aching for a chance to find someone to share both the bed and the refreshment with - Well, suffice it to say Symon's contentment was duly interrupted by his 3 weeks as manager of accounts.

After this, Symon was expected to begin the process of taking his vows, a prospect that he had long debated - a prospect that was further complicated by the return of Tamora Hightower. Over the course of many months, they rekindled the flames of their past love and sparked a roaring fire that burned bright and true. It was almost enough to tempt his mind away from the potential of becoming a full fledged Maester. But before it could blister into a wildfire, it was extinguished with her departure late one night, with naught but a note and a golden ribbon laid by the bedside. He understood why, and knew she meant well. After all, the scandal alone would've broken her reputation - a Hightower (of only moderate consequence) in the arms of a Maester (who had yet to take his vows of celibacy)? The very foundations of Oldtown would crumble. And so he tied the ribbon in his hair, as she had done so many times before, after their love had been... Reaffirmed. Sometimes multiple times throughout the evening. And into the morning. And maybe the afternoon.

At any rate, his soul once again rejuvenated by this most joyful of loves, he took the vows dutifully and for years toiled in tedium. The monotony was only broken by the occasional brothel visit (where, ingeniously, he never engaged in proper intercourse, thereby preserving his vow of celibacy whilst also satisfying his carnal needs via alternative methods) and, of course, the one time when he and his fellow Maesters traveled across the Narrow Sea under the supervision of one of the Archmaesters to investigate Rhoynish culture and its impact upon the Kingdom of Dorne.

After this, it was broken by Rebellion - an unfortunate debacle that left his house defeated and suffering. He could only piece together what had happened to the Greenmonts in rumors, some of which shattered his heart entirely. The ravens he sent and the letters he wrote earned only the most scant replies, always from servants and attendants, never directly from his father or even the noble Ser Olyver. He often wonders if the Citadel kept the writings of his family from him, to reinforce his vows or some such nonsense. Resentment was sown throughout his body and finally bloomed when a message arrived whilst he walked the streets of Oldtown, bearing terrible news of another death that Symon had been absent for, a death that would reap the harvest and fuel his malnourished spirit as it trudged down the only course of action his soul now saw in the face of doom.

Preluding a terse conversation with one of his closest mentors, Archmaester Gyllan, Symon discarded his chains and abandoned the Citadel, abdicating his vows. He sent letters via raven to Ser Olyver (assuming he was in Fox Hollow), Mara (knowing she was in Old Oak, and so sent this message in code), and Myria (assuming she was in Summerhall), intent on coordinating with his younger sister upon potentially having his Maestership revoked. A deciphered copy of the letter to Mara was sent along with a prostitute by the name of Annybelle, whom Symon had previous relations with during his tenure, in the hope that she would deliver the message in the event that the raven fail to reach Old Oak. He investigated ways to travel to that distant town by ship, after being refused Tamora Hightower's audience.

After securing passage to Old Oak aboard a humble fishing vessel in exchange for labor, Symon witnessed and walked amidst the departing procession from his sister Mara's wedding. This, he recognized, would place him ahead of the arrival of Annybelle (who had, he surmised, traveled via land), which complicated matters. While among the many noble bannered caravans which passed by, Symon learned of the actions of Ser Olyver against his brother Horatio, as well as the crowning of Mara as the Queen of Love and Beauty over the Princess Daenerys Martell. Finding the Martell's caravan, Symon showered praises upon the Princess (who he presumed was somewhere within) to no particular effect.

Upon arriving at Old Oak, he reunited with his sister, now a Lady Oakheart, and met with his newest in-laws during their morning meal. There, he learned of their intentions to travel to Highgarden for Court. Regrettably, he was unable to inform the assembled family of his own ambitions (to dissolve his Maestership and thus secure his claim to Fox Hollow), but all good things in time appropriate.

After breakfast, Mara and Symon departed from the Oakhearts to speak in confidence at the foot of the Weirwood tree housed in Old Oak. At the Godsgrove, he and Mara mourned for the passing of their father and so resolved to have Symon accompany herself and her Lord Husband as counselor and confidant. He stayed behind for a time to recover from his travels, as Mara, Alester, and the Lord Jon Oakheart departed for Court. While recovering, he met with the Lady Jayne Oakheart and struck an accord with her - an unlikely friendship which persuaded Symon to attend to Alester in a capacity beyond advisor, even going so far as to educate the boy free of charge.

Later that very evening, he reunited with his sister and the caravan they traveled alongside. Over the journey to Highgarden, Symon set about informing himself upon the goings on of Court and its attendees - in doing so, he learned of the general situation within the Reach, and of many rumors which he hadn't been privy to given his confinement to Oldtown. Most notably, he learned of Lord Leo Tyrell's Lord of Whispers, Lady Desmera Redwyne, and of her controversial reputation. In her story of being a bastard who took for herself the name which was rightfully hers through subterfuge and cunning, Symon felt a suitable analogue. He planned to offer his services as information analyst and compiler to the venerable Lady, but as reality struck the former Maester, this ideal situation would soon prove unsatisfactory.

Before arriving to Highgarden proper, Symon found himself quite at odds with the family he had travelled with - and the family he had erroneously assimed had maintained loyalty to the House he sought to reclaim. His initial disdain for the Lord Alester Oakheart was intensified as the heir's disposition became one of romantic interest. Symon found himself angered that the Young Oak would dare betray his sister's sensibilities, just as her attachment to the lordling was growing in intensity, a fact which further concerned him. Once in Highgarden, Symon expressed his reservations numerous times to Mara, to no true avail.

Going out on his own whilst the Court busied itself, he established contact with the Lady Redwyne and with his stepmother, Lady Marzia Greenmont, as well as Tamora Hightower and the Lady Rowan. He would have continued to conspire with his dearest sister, but both Alester and Mara soon absconded from Highgarden to follow the warpath of Lord Gormund Peake, who had in spectacular fashion refused to pay taxes and established the Southern Rangers to combat the growing Dornish Bandit threat which plagued the Marcher's territories.

Before he could process the gravity of this situation, Symon inevitably found himself entangled in a scheme conceived by Desmera. In secret, a plot was described to him whereby a feast hosted by Lord Merryweather for the benefit of Court would be sabotaged by diluting the ale which he had purchased to prove himself able and willing to adhere to Lord Leo Tyrell's demands. Symon was to be the plan's architect, yet in this work he found himself at a crossroads.

Although the solution to this endeavor was laughably simple to his mind, its end result was completely undesirable and contrary to his assessment of the current political climate. If one minor traitor house could fall at the behest of Desmera's vines, whose to say House Greenmont would not be next? And all while the would-be hand of the Blackfyre Pretender, Lord Peake, trapsed along the southern borders of the Reach having just refused his liege Lord taxes? Just as the old wounds of Loyalist and Traitor began to fester once again? At his own peril, Symon initially refused participation in the venture, offering to go and research methods to curtail the Lord Peake and his cronies, but quickly reconsidered after a dagger was held to his gullet.

So motivated to return to the venture, and acting upon his own intuition, Symon advised the Master of Whispers and her cohorts along pathways which would ultimately doom the venture to failure, such as securing the diluting water from the Mander instead of from closer sources so as to avoid detection, and to employ miners to widen the various passageways of Highgarden to more easily transport the tonnes of ale Merryweather had secured. He did so as he envisioned that the peace Desmera sought would only be won with an iron fist, and while he had no particular fondness for the now destitute House Merryweather, Symon believed that those who would repair their reputations with the crown should be allowed to do so for the benefit of all within the Kingdom, as a means to demonstrate the more merciful compulsions which run contrary to popular rebel narratives of the oppressor versus the oppressed. Besides, to his mind, there were more pressing matters at hand.

Though his efforts were indeed successful and the feast was deemed a wonderful occasion by all in attendance, Symon could not shake the unease of unrealized consequence as Desmera glared at him throughout the night. He quietly adjourned from the festivities and slept under the shade of the Three Singers, the massive Weirwood housed within Highgarden, awaiting to see what the morning would bring.

It brought stony silence from the camp of the Lady Desmera, along with the departure of his dear sister, Mara, and her lord husband. After leaving a message for his dear relatives with a few Oakheart servants, for the next several weeks, Symon secured for himself a meager income by offering his services as tutor to several servants in Highgarden, and avoided paying for lodgings by sleeping in the local Sept's pews or underneath the Three Singers. This practice came to a halt when he was rudely awakened by a pair of guards who unwittingly heralded the arrival of Lady Desmera, and news which served to shatter the heart and head.

Symon was given a letter by the Master of Whispers, who insinuated quite plainly that she was well aware of the truth of his situation, and wielded that information as one would a weapon, before departing from his presence. Left to his own devices, Symon set about deciphering the missive he received, which appeared to be written in an advanced form of the Greenmont code. After great difficulty, he came to understand that a person within Fox Hollow alleged that his stepmother, Marzia Greenmont, performed some form of blood sacrament in order to secure a pair of twin male heirs to House Greenmont, under the advice and influence of her Grandmother, Lady Rosana Crane, and urged Lucos' (formerly) youngest son to return home.

Shocked by this potential development, and by the possibility that this entire letter was fabricated by Desmera to spur him into reckless action (an admittedly paranoid delusion), Symon intensified his efforts to consolidate loyalist presence within Fox Hollow, first courting the audience of the Ladies Rowan and Crane at a private dinner. Whilst travelling to said dinner, Symon encountered the entourage of Lord Leo Tyrell, but concealed his presence from their sight after recognizing Desmera amidst their number.

Once at dinner with Ladies Rowan and Crane, in confidence, he revealed a modified version of his predicament, and sought to persuade each to act against the Lord Peake and his Southern Rangers by convincing them to travel to Fox Hollow and hinder any efforts undertaken against Dorne or the Lord Tyrell. This venture ultimately failed, as force of personality alone did not prevail against the worries of public appearance and sentiment. Embittered by this, Symon revealed the status of Lady Marzia to her biological mother, and adjourned to investigate the final means by which the court might be spurred to action - the potentially fraudulent activities of Lord Peake and his allies.

This investigation began rather roughly, as though Symon was given access to the various historical and financial records of Highgarden by its Maester, Godrick, the disorganized nature of the information hindered any effort to parse true understanding from its mildewed and woefully chaotic pages. Which is more, Symon spent the better half of a day locked within the tower where this information was held, discovering over the course of a night a dagger, which he used to stab a message into the door of the Maester's office, and a vial of Widow's Blood which Godrick had apparently brewed. Taking possession of this poison for his own, Symon was released from his accidental prison and was thrust into audience with his childhood sweetheart, Tamora Hightower, for reasons yet to be revealed.

Excerpts from "Far From Mother Rhoyne: An Examination of Rhoynish Genealogical and Sociocultural Influence within the Houses of the Reach" by Maester Symon:

"... But not all who endured the integration of the esteemed retinue of Nymeria were subject to suspicion or hardship, even beyond the Dornish. For in the case of certain houses, such as the Greenmonts, prior contact had already been established in ages past. Indeed, given the exhaustive historical record, it can be surmised that at least a portion of the Dornish and Westerosi populations departed for Essos during the Long Night, a migration that, by some accounts, may have been undertaken willingly. There is some evidence to suggest that certain Lords within the area now considered 'The Reach' ordered forerunners, merchants, and scouts to go forth and tell the dreaded tales of the bitter cold to all who would listen, to entreat noble houses of faraway lands for assistance, and to ride as far as their steeds could carry them. Apparently, if these accounts prove accurate, some of the more clever among those travellers realized that they could take their steed aboard a seafaring vessel and go well beyond this call to duty.

And so it came to pass that the Rhoynar people were exposed to faint glimmers of Westerosi culture, and in turn found themselves entwined with certain noble families, if only in the most base sense. This is not to suggest that their fledgling relations were strictly carnal, but as Nymeria's flock spread their wings and flew to every corner of the Dornish kingdom, for those who found themselves within the borderlands, it was into the arms of family - distant and distinct from themselves, but family nonetheless - that they were received."

Of Words and their Weight

Translated from Valyrian

"Dearest esteemed Archmaesters,

At age 9, you received me. For 17 years, I have toiled. But even before I breathed inside the hallowed halls of this colossal failure, this monument to accumulation, this wretched residence that, like a thief most nefarious, robs its residents of both time and bodily faculty, before I spoke the oath which chained me to a destiny of servitude and suffering, my father, whose memory is forever etched upon my mind, whose blood and name is mine own, regardless of what your Citadel would believe - my father taught me our words.

Forget Me Not.

I stood by as black fires raged across the countryside, consuming multitudes within their darkness - I learned of the deaths of loved ones long after their passing, through rumor and raven! I searched within my heart and found an unbearable ache, that no diagnosis could provide answer for. Only now do I realize that, lodged within the flesh of its chambers, was the order my house impressed upon me at birth.

Forget Me Not.

For so long, I have forgotten, my senses surrendered to the illusion that this fetid tower's promises would lead me to a purpose most majestical... But not for all the knowledge in the world can I ever accept the eradication of my namesake. For even as I sat before a candle of black glass, in darkness, alone, still I heard the voice of my father, of my mother, of my siblings and loved ones whisper to my heat oppressed brain.

Forget Me Not.

And so I take my leave, to follow the commands that my very soul demands I pursue. Though the road ahead is certainly treacherous, and lies in disgrace, I shall lay myself before the judgement of all Gods and face it, for by all considerations, I have weighed your words against my family's... And I regret to inform this most esteemed council that yours have been found wanting.

With sincerest spirit,

Symon Greenmont of House Greenmont, former Maester"

"As a Maester, I vowed to bear the weight of these chains for life, but as a Greenmont, my house calls, and I must go. I know not what the morning will bring, but I do not fear awakening - for as the sun returns, so too shall the son. Father, Mother, Brothers, by all Gods and mercies, please... Forget me not, as I forgot you."

Alyce Strong

Place of birth

Flea Bottom, King's Landing

Alyce Strong was a mercenary in the employ of Aegor Rivers, and accompanied Ser Alfred Wyld to King's Landing to deliver the body of Lord Arryn.
Alyce was played by Susie in Season 2, Episode 7 "A Message from Tyrosh".

Appearance and Character Edit

Alyce was unusually large for a person in Westeros, let alone a woman in Westeros. Her body was well-toned and muscular, living up to her surname. Her dark hair was kept short and messily cropped around her ears, and it was clear that she did not place much value in beautification.

Alyce was a jovial and joking woman, who often teased her companions - giving Alfred a hard time in particular. Though when the situation called, she would turn deadly serious, often literally, as she carried a large woodman's axe as her weapon.

Alyce was born among the common-folk in King's Landing, though her father claimed that they were the few remaining members of House Strong in Westeros - the rest having been slaughtered some 40 years before her birth during the Dance of the Dragons. Because of this Alyce had a deep resentment of House Targaryen and was sympathetic to the Blackfyre cause.

Alyce served the rebel forces at the Battle of the Redgrass Field, and was one of many who fled across the Narrow Sea to join Aegor Rivers when the battle was lost.

Events of After the Fyre Edit

Alyce volunteered to join Alfred's squad and their mission to deliver Lord Arryn's body to King's Landing, after being defeated at the Battle of the Redgrass Field, she was eager to show her defiance to the crown and House Targaryen.

During the journey across the Narrow Sea, she was very social and friendly with her co-conspirators and the crew of the ship, going so far as attempting to embarrass Alfred at any given opportunity.

Once they landed, Alyce carried the body of Lord Arryn in a manner concealing his morbidity, pretending that he was a crewmate that had fallen ill on the journey. Once the others had secured a cart for the body, Alyce pulled that along as they had no beast of burden to do so, something that she grumbled about as they made their way into King's Landing.

Later, Alfred and Alyce were tasked with stealing a horse for the joust. They successfully stole a palfrey, unknowingly to them, belonging to the young Lord Dyffan Velaryon. After disguising it's markings with boot polish, and a close encounter with some guards, they returned to the group.

On the day of the joust, Alyce was turned away from the lists by Alexios Wyrl and told to leave. She attempted to argue but eventually left for the nearest tavern, where she spent the rest of her night deep in her cups and the entertainment of local ladies.

It is not known exactly when Alyce was killed by A Man, but hers was one of the faces shown to Alfred as he laid dying at Castle Yronwood.

Myria Greenmont

Season 1

Season 2 & 3

Season 4

House

Myria Greenmont is the youngest child of Lord Lucos Greenmont and his first wife, Lady Alyse Greenmont. She has three older brothers; Lann, Rylon, and Symon, and one older sister, Mara. She has one bastard-born older half-brother, Ser Alfred Wyld, and two half-brothers, Brynn and Wyrlan, born of her father's second wife, Lady Marzia Greenmont.
Myria is played by Susie.

Appearance and Character Edit

Myria's appearance betrays her Dornish heritage with her dark, curly hair and lightly tanned skin, she did not inherit the green eyes of her father and siblings. As a young teenager, her figure is slight, and she is of average height, though she carries herself with the poise of someone twice her age.

Myria is not an avid follower of the latest fashions popular with Ladies, but takes great care in her appearance. She wears her hair loose and long, allowing her curls to frame her face, but pinning back longer sections with delicate braids. On occasion she will wear forget-me-nots tucked into her hair. She dresses in her House colours of black and green whenever possible, especially if there is an event, and she accessorises with golden jewellery.

Raised as a Lady, Myria has a keen interest in music, singing, dancing and other traditionally feminine activities. She also has a keen mind for social dynamics and workings and is intensely interested in the official affairs of her House and the politics of Westeros. She is also very interested in learning about Dorne, and is often seen sitting and chatting with Ser Olyver Yronwood.

Myria is very much a social young woman who finds herself at ease at almost any event, with any conversational partner.

Myria is the youngest daughter and last child of Lord Lucos Greenmont and Lady Alyse Greenmont, who died during Myria's birth. She was born a happy and healthy baby, unaware of the tragedy of her birth.

Due to her mother's untimely passing, Myria's relationship with her father was strained. However, upon Alyse's death, Ser Olyver was made the girl's Godsfather. He became her father figure and was instrumental in raising her, alongside her aunt, Lady Lana Greenmont, and her sister, Lady Mara Greenmont.

For the most part, Myria's childhood at Fox Hollow was a happy one, she proved to be a wilful and clever child - in between lessons and reading, she could often be found with a young Ser Alfred Wyld playing pranks on Ser Olyver and her older brothers, Lann and Rylon. Her most treasured memories and lessons were spent with her Godsfather, Ser Olyver, who taught her to ride horses, how to sing and dance in the Dornish tradition, and taught her of the socio-politics of Dorne.

Myria was kept sheltered from the family's plans to join the Blackfyre rebellion until it became impossible to hide it from her, although she had already long suspected something was happening due to the changes in behavior and reduced contact she had with her older brothers. She did not understand her father's motives for joining Daemon Targaryen's side, and did question him, but she never received an answer that satisfied her. She was left at Fox Hollow with Lana, Mara, and Marzia whilst the male members of the house went off to campaign with Daemon.

In the two years before the events of After the Fyre, House Greenmont counted themselves amongst the losing side of the Blackfyre rebellion. Lann and Rylon were killed at the Battle of the Redgrass Field, with Lord Lucos and Ser Olyver being badly wounded. Shortly after their return to Fox Hollow, Myria was taken to Summerhall to be warded with Prince Maekar Targaryen, a hostage to ensure the cooperation and obedience of House Greenmont.

Recent Events Edit

Summerhall Edit

At Summerhall, Myria was educated in stewardship, literacy, as well as other courtly pursuits such as singing and dancing. As the oldest of the wards, she was responsible for the younger wards, acting as a mentor and secondary caretaker under Septa Ygrid.

During a game of 'come-into-my-castle' with Harys, Lyra, Joy, and Prince Aerion, they were interrupted by the arrival of her uncle, Edmyn Blackmont, and his men with their prisoner at Summerhall. Court was called, and Myria rushed to the Ladies Gallery to watch the proceedings. It was revealed that the prisoner was Daera Storm, a bastard from the Stormlands, and that she had been caught spying for Bittersteel in the Baratheon court. Prince Maekar demanded that she be imprisoned in the cells of Summerhall, and charged Blackmont with investigating his own court for spies.

That afternoon, Myria witnessed her uncle and his men after interrogating the young Lady Peake, she had clearly been drugged and was being held up as they took her to her quarters. She caught her uncle's attention and they shared a warm reunion. Blackmont seemed concerned for Myria's safety during the interrogations and promised to protect her, he extended her an invitation to dinner to discuss it further.

Later that night, Myria was having difficulty sleeping after finding out about the death of her father, Lucos Greenmont, and decided to get some air. As she opened the door to her dormitory, she found Harys Ball just about to knock. After asking him why he was out of bed past curfew, he convinced her to accompany him down to the cells of Summerhall to talk to Daera Storm.

After evading the guards and sneaking across the grounds, they arrived at Daera's cell. Harys began by asking her about his father, Ser Quentyn Ball, but he was quickly deflected, telling him that his father was "a fool" that got himself killed. Daera then began to focus on Myria, trying to convince her to become a spy for Bittersteel via taunting and bargaining. Myria, however, refused and cautioned Daera on choosing her allies more carefully in the future, before she took Harys's arm and headed back to the dormitories, narrowly avoiding Prince Aerion.

"Most men would rather deny a hard truth than face it. But face it, we must. Our house gambled and we lost, but I will not make the same mistakes of my father. I will not, I cannot lose."

Marzia (Crane) Greenmont

Season 1-3

Season 4

House

Lady Marzia (Crane) Greenmont is the current regent of House Greenmont, and mother to the heir of the House.

Lady Marzia is played by Charlie.

Appearance and Character Edit

The most quickly noticeable thing about Marzia (save her pregnancy which has begun to show) is her eyes coloured somewhere between pale gold and green, framed by eyelashes, and alert. Her dark gold hair braided in a formal, structured, style may sometimes seem overly ornate in the day to day setting of the house but is a never lost standard from her life as a maiden of House Crane. The ornamentation of her appearance is added to on special occasions most notably in her makeup which changes from simple charcoal details around the eyes with the addition of gold flakes and more complex design giving her the appearance of a gilded feline.

She has a fair complexion common in many of the women in The Reach although her's bears three beauty marks across the features of her face. Two of these marks are high on the cheekbone under her right eye while the remainder sits above her lips. Her features are soft and feminine with feathery dark brows, a full rounded mouth, and a nondescript nose.

Marzia is often noted as clumsy in matters of haste and poise. The presence of her guardian shadowcat, Salistrya, is unnerving for many. There are rumours of her being a wood witch or similar. When compared to the first wife of Lord Greenmont, reviews are decidedly mixed. She is mostly out of favour with House Crane.

Marzia was born the eldest daughter to Lady Lilyan Crane at their holdings on Red Lake. Her mother showed little interest in her offspring and the child was watched over instead by Rosanna Crane (Mother Crane/The Withered Rose) who had greater patience for the child's proclivity to be clumsy particularly at highly formal occasions.

Marzia's grandmother encouraged the learning of healing and working with animals - recognising an inherited and unique affinity between Marzia and the wilds (this affinity also, perhaps, explaining the occasional difficult Marzia seems to have with the control of her own body). The women of Red Lake have in legend had the ability to shift skins into the elegant cranes that stalk the waters, although it is a trait incredibly uncommon and often kept secret since the increased worship of The Seven and a decline in old magic. Marzia's mother had no affinity nor talent; she compensated with evoking the image of the crane through dress and hair styling (the aesthetic more important than any wyrd ability).

When the cranes of Red Lake were attacked by a wild beast, the hunters of the house worked quickly to protect the sacred birds. Marzia found the remains of their hunt, a young shadowcat from the mountains, who was left to die from its wounds. Marzia (aged fifteen) refused to let the creature die and instead nursed it back to health and training the animal as its strength returned. Salistraya, as it was named, became the young Crane's closest companion save for her younger sister, Lyria.

At sixteen, Marzia was betrothed to Lann Greenmont, heir of the House Greenmont in the Red Mountains. In the spring she was sent to her new house to become better acquainted with her soon to be family. It was supposed to be a brief tour for one season after which she was meant to return to Red Lake however through twists of fate and her family never making an effort to recall her; she remained with the Greenmonts.

Marzia grew close with the youngest of the Greenmonts ( Myria) who was of a similar age to her own sister. During her eighteenth year, the Blackfyre Rebellion took hold and claimed her betrothed's life along with his young brother's (Rylon Greenmont). The Lord of the house, Lucos Greenmont, was without an heir and in a difficult political position as the Rebellion failed. Lucos' wife, a Blackmont, had died eleven years previously and his third son had sword the Maester's vow leaving him with only daughters ( Mara and Myria). A marriage was made between Marzia and Lucos in an attempt to restabilise the house and maintain connections in The Reach. The wedding was nothing of particular note, save for the Sword Ceremony during which Marzia mistakenly presented the symbolic sword to the newly knighted, Ser Alfred Wyld.

Marzia also assisted with the healing of Greenmont soldiers in the months and years following the battles of the rebellion, including the notable Ser Olyver Yronwood (The Black Lance/The Dorne in Exile), a longtime ally of The Greenmont house.

At twenty, Marzia is now the pregnant Lady of House Greenmont and runs the house from Fox Hollow. Lucos journeys North West to Old Oak for the marriage of Mara Greenmont to Alester Oakheart.

Events of After the Fyre Edit

In the Spring of 198 AC, Marzia Greenmont delivered the news that Lord Lucos Greenmont had succumbed to the infection in his leg leaving Fox Hollow, and the Greenmont lands, without a Lord. She made a speech seeking the support of the men of the house for her position as Lady and in support of her unborn child as heir. Lady Lana Greenmont and Ser Donnel Babblebrook gave their approval as did those in attendance.

Additionally, Marzia has worked towards fortifying the fighting force of the household (which had been decimated by the Blackfyre Rebellion). She installed a House Guard as well as increasing patrols on the border following an attack by Dornish Raiders. The raiders had slaughtered a farmer's family and livestock; Ser Alfred Wyld and Ser Babblebrook were deployed capturing and killing the attackers. One man was brought back to the house and questioned by Lady Greenmont before being sentenced to death by hanging for his crimes. He faces his punishment gagged and his head covered. There are rumours he offered information about a place known as Vulture's Roost, a man known as the Vulture King and an uprising of rebels.

With the news of the skirmish, came Braythe and her son who both showed the signs of Choking Fever, a plague which although treatable could quickly become a lethal epidemic. The suffering were healed with Marzia's care and Braythe taken on as a healer in training. Alfred took steps after that to ensure the sick were kept away from Lady Greenmont having concerns for her well being in the late stages of her pregnancy.

Ser Olyver returned to Fox Hollow, still wounded from the events at the Oakheart Tourney but with grave business to attend to. Ser Olyver sought to council Marzia that she should remarry to best protect the house and his candidate was Alfred whom it was revealed was Lord Lucos' bastard. This candidate was rejected however as Marzia refused to consider marriage to a bastard and was uncomfortable with the potential rumour mill. Ser Olyver pointed out that in fact he was Lord Yronwood and the negotiations ended with them agreeing to marry and Olyver left to rescue Myria.

News of Myria being taken from Summerhall by her Uncle, Edmyn Blackmont was brought by Rosana Crane, the Withered Rose/Mother Crane, Marzia's grandmother. With a small retinue from Red Lake she journeyed to visit her granddaughter and pay her respects to House Greenmont following the death of Lord Lucos.

Mara Oakheart

Mara Oakheart (nee Greenmont) is the fourth child and eldest daughter of Lord Lucos Greenmont and his first wife, Lady Alyse Greenmont. In 198 AC, she was married to Alester Oakheart and is in line to become the Lady of House Oakheart when her husband becomes the Lord of the house.
Mara is played by Virginia.

Appearance and Character Edit

Events of After the Fyre Edit

Mara's wedding day at Old Oak was marred by sorrow with news of the passing of her father. She ensured his body was recovered and his wife notified of his final return to Fox Hollow. In the wake of this tragedy, Ser Olyver Yronwood stood in the stead of the late Lord Greenmont, giving Mara away to her new family in House Oakheart. Watched on by lords and ladies of the southern kingdoms of the Reach and Dorne, the Oakhearts attempted to snub Mara and Ser Olyver by not allowing him into their family sept for the wedding ceremony, citing his Dornish bloodline. Mara shames Lord Oakheart, reminding him pointedly of her own Dornish heritage and gaining access for both herself and Olyver.

At the wedding tournament of Old Oak, she watched and cheered as Ser Olyver trounced the lists to advance to the final round against his younger brother, Lord Horatio Yronwood. During the proceedings, she received many gifts and well-wishers, including Lord Costayne. She also spoke with Princess Danaerys Martell about her sister Myria, seeking to strike a deal to allow House Greenmont access to their fostered scion at Summerhall. Danaerys promised to vouch for her good character, but made it aware she would likely extract a price of loyalty at another time.

With Ser Olyver's victory despite Horatio's use of poison at the tourney, he crowned Mara the Queen of Love and Beauty for the tourney, further inflaming the Martells in attendance, as Princess Danaerys was considered by many to be the most beautiful woman in Westeros.

After the wedding, Mara was joined by her brother Symon at Old Oak, seeking her aid and favor as he fled from the Citadel. Because of her love for him and her family, she allowed him to accompany her and Alester to court at Highgarden.

During the trip, seeking to cement her value to House Oakheart, she commenced attempting to conceive an heir with her new husband.

On the road to Highgarden, she and her husband were approached by Lord Costayne, seeking to draw them into an alliance with himself and the Lords Peake and Tarly, all houses with an axe to grind against the Targaryens and the Dornish, who they claimed were raiding the Reach. Mara insisted that Alester needed no part with them, though the young lord was intrigued at the glory the other Reacher Lords promised with their 'Southern Rangers'.

At Highgarden, she again advised Alester against joining Lord Peake and the rangers as she had lost 2 brothers to war, and was not about to lose her husband as well. After this argument, she was again sent reeling as her brother approached her, offering information in exchange for favor. A long heart to heart ensued, with the siblings coming to some form of understanding, but some mistrust still there with many things left unsaid and unaddressed. Mara then departed to reconcile with her husband, seeking out Alester in the training yard. She extracted a promise from him to not rush off to war before they knew that an heir for House Oakmont was secured.

Later, at Highgarden court, news reached Mara of her sister Myria's escape from Summerhall (courtesy of their uncle Lord Edmyn Blackmont). With the assembled lords present, she addressed the scandal, speaking for House Greenmont and her Stepmother Lady Marzia Greenmont, appealing directly to Lord Leo Tyrell to allow the family a chance to put themselves to rights. Lord Tyrell allowed this, granting Marzia regency over the House so long as Lady Marzia bore a final son for the departed Lord Lucos.

When Lord Peake stormed out of the court after declaring he would be ranging on the border of Dorne to strike back against the raiders, Alester made to go with him, but was bade stay by Mara, begging him not to leave her to become a widow.

Alester did not heed her warning attempted to slip off to join the ranger lords, prompting Mara to demand she accompany him, refusing to leave his side at this tenuous time in their marriage (and not without getting with his child)

The Southern Rangers traveled south from Highgarden, Arriving at Fox Hollow. There, Mara was reunited with Lady Marzia right as she was about to make a fateful choice regarding using the magic of the Old Gods to ensure a male heir for House Greenmont. The two apprised each other the situations at Highgarden and in the Red Mountains, but before long Marzia began her labor, Aiding Lady Rosana Crane and braving an enraged Sallistraya, she helped Marzia through her labor to give birth to her half brothers, Brynn and Wyrlan.

Ser Alfred Wyld

Season 1

Season 2 & 3

House

Ser Alfred Wyld (AKA Alfred Flowers) was a knight sworn into the service of House Greenmont. He learned that he was the natural-born son of the late Lord Lucos Greenmont, making him a bastard.

Ser Alfred was played by Tom.

Alfred was born in 181 AC, the result of a tryst between Lucos Greenmont and his mother, a common woman of the Red Mountains. This fact was kept secret from him in his youth, and he lived the life of smallfolk, living off the land and growing proficient with the bow.

During the events of the Blackfyre Rebellion, Alfred was a footman in service to House Greenmont. In the flurry of the battle, he managed to save an injured Lord Lucos from certain death. After the battle, Lord Greenmont awarded him with a knighthood.

Alfred came upon and defeated a group of bandits that were raiding in Greenmont lands. They claimed to serve a " Vulture King". He brought the prisoners back to Fox Hollow to be questioned by Lady Marzia.

After taking care of the prisoners, he was approached by his friend and mentor, Ser Olyver Yronwood, and they caught up on the events they had both been apart of in the Greenmont lands and the wedding tourney at Old Oak. Then, Ser Olyver revealed that he knew Alfred's lineage, his relation to Lord Lucos and urged him to claim lordship over House Greenmont to stabilize the house. Owing to his loyalty to the house and friendship to Marzia, Alfred declined.

Based on information gathered from the captured bandits, Ser Alfred was dispatched by Lady Marzia to seek out the Vulture King and end his threat if possible. Along with a group of outriders, Alfred ranged south across the mountains into Dorne and the Blackmont lands, following the trail of the Vulture's destruction. They had burned and sacked several villages but hadn't left behind as many bodies as initially thought. He finally caught up with the bandits within sight of the Blackmont's keep, as the bandits struck deep into the heart of civilised territory. Alfred performed his duties as a knight, working to protect the smallfolk from the predations of the vultures, but was cut down in battle with their commander.

He was kidnapped by the healer Isolde and brought to the Free City of Tyrosh. There, he found his battle had cost him the use of his right eye and his youthful features, which were now a patchwork of deep scars. He also learned he'd been spirited away from Westeros, and was to be impressed into the service of Daemon II Blackfyre.

Ser Alfred was then introduced to the Blackfyres, represented by the child king Daemon and his protector Aegor "Bittersteel" Rivers. After telling Bittersteel under extreme duress of the situation in the Red Mountains, (Learning that the Vulture King was in fact not being propped up by the Blackfyres) he was formally recruited, and sent to make a place for himself in the camps of the Blackfyres.

Whilst searching for Myria at Castle Yronwood, Alfred was betrayed by A Man - wearing the face of Robb, the faceless man tricked Alfred into hugging him before stabbing him with poisoned blades. It was revealed that the faceless man had been hired by Aegor Rivers to assassinate Alfred because he did not return to Tyrosh after his mission at King's Landing.

The Man gently laid down Alfred's body and placed his sword on his chest, waiting with him until he died. His body was left at Castle Yronwood, and its whereabouts is not currently known.

Ser Olyver Yronwood

Ser Olyver Yronwood was an aging Westerosi knight, a well-known tournament champion, and a Dornish exile serving as the current Master-of-Arms for House Greenmont. During the First Blackfyre Rebellion, Ser Olyver was one of three knights that served under Daemon Blackfyre's unofficial Kingsguard, often referred to as the Blackguard. During the war against the Targaryans, Ser Olyver gained notoriety under the moniker "The Black Lance", a name that has stuck with him in the years since Daemon was defeated.
Though he spoke of it rarely, it is well-known in the Reach that Olyver was the true heir to House Yronwood. House Yronwood is the second most influential house in Dorne, a long-time rival to House Martell and ally to House Greenmont in the Reach.

Ser Olyver was played by Don.

Olyver was a tall and thin man, with taut, wiry muscles, calloused hands, and leathery skin from having spent many years in the sun. While most Yronwoods are marked by their sunny blonde hair and deep blue eyes, Olyver had black hair and light, seafoam green eyes. His short, dark hair and slightly unkempt beard were peppered with a few streaks of grey. His sharp, severe facial features were softened by dimples when he smiled, which he was known to do does often and with a gentle ease.

He often wore a dark-hued, silk sherwanis, fitted pants, a tan shoulder-cape, and a red headscarf. He was striking in armor, known for his unique black copper scalemail and black turban helmet with red trim. The style of his armor and weapons were recognizably Dornish, but their colors belonged specifically to House Yronwood's ancient order of knights, the Brotherhood of the Bloodroyal.

Olyver Yronwood was the eldest Yronwood in his generation, born in 143 AC, 55 years prior to the events in After the Fyre. He was raised to be a Lord, as capable of dealing with court politics as well as he could ride or fight with spear and halberd. Olyver never showed much aptitude for court or politics in his youth, but his prowess as a fighter was well known by his sixteenth birthday, shortly after the Conquest of Dorne, when he killed his first man -- a brutish hedge knight serving House Tyrell named Ser Ellis.

A few years later, when Olyver was a hot-blooded young man, he killed Micah Martell, the eldest brother to Maron Martell and Myriah Martell, in a duel. The slaying was revenge for Micah having killed Olyver's younger brother Christofer in a similar duel. To avoid risking a civil war in Dorne between the Martells and Yronwoods, the Prince of Dorne and Otto Yronwood, Olyver's father, came to a private agreement. Olyver was sent away in exile, warned by both men that if he ever stepped foot in Dorne again, he would be murdered.

While his brothers, sisters and mother mourned the loss of Olyver, heir to their family and the Warden of Stone Way, Otto Yronwood was pleased to see him go; the head of the house was a superstitious man, who believed Olyver's dark features and brazen atheism were signs that he was a curse to House Yronwood.

An Exiled Hedge Knight Edit

In 166 AC, 32 years prior to the events of After the Fyre, Olyver was sent north with only his armor, weapons, and horse. He made his way as a hedge knight in The Reach under the monicker Ser Olyver "Wolf", competing in tourneys with mixed success and serving a number of Marcher Lords. He was easily recognized on the field, in his black, dornish armor. Compared to other Westerosi knights, he was remarkably quick, and a masterful horseman.

In 168 AC, Olyver won his first tourney in the joust, a large and grand affair at Highgarden. After several easy victories, he won a notable tilt against another skilled hedge knight, Ser Dorrick, when Dorrick was wounded and yielded before the third run. At the end of the tilt, Olyver swore to Ser Dorrick to sell back the man's armor and horse for two gold dragons, as a show of kinship from one hedge knight to another.

In the championship tilt, he went toe-to-toe with one of the greatest riders of a generation, Lady Sanah Mormont, the "Fang of Bear Island." In three runs at each other, each of the fighters broke three lances apiece against their opponent's body. In the third run, however, both riders disregarded personal safety to ride half-raised in the saddle; Lady Sanah unhorsed Ser Olyver, severely wounding him and proving herself superior in the joust. Olyver took the championship tilt to ground by calling for his halberd, and in a short and brutal melee, he stunned the crowd with his determined comeback. Olyver defeated Lady Sanah to win the tournament, but praised her honor and great skill before the gathered spectators.

After winning, Ser Olyver met Lord Lucos Greenmont and Lady Alyse Greenmont for the first time, when he crowned Lady Alyse the tourney's Queen of Love and Beauty. He revealed himself as Ser Olyver Yronwood, the infamous Dorne-in-Exile, to the noblemen gathered, much to the dismay of many. However, the Lord and Lady Greenmont instead showed favor to the bold young knight, and the tourney winnings and notoriety allowed Olyver to start to build a new identity, and a new destiny, for himself.

By 171 AC, Ser Olyver's reputation as a deadly knight, and as a dornishman willing to fight other dornishmen when necessary, became well known throughout The Reach. Three years after his previous tourney victory, he won another large tournament by besting Lord Lucos Greenmont in both the joust and in the Grand Melee. Afterwards, he became a sworn sword to House Greenmont and a dear friend to Lord Lucos. While in service to House Greenmont, he taught riding and history lessons to the children of the Greenmont family.

The First Blackfyre Rebellion Edit

In 193 AC, five years prior to the events of After the Fyre, Ser Olyver was a surprise entry to another major tournament after many years of not competing. He won his third tourney championship easily that day, and was thereafter summoned by Daemon Blackfyre to hear a private offer. After twenty years of close service to House Greenmont, Olyver accepted whatever it was that Daemon offered him in secret, and was anointed as one of the bastard Targaryan's honored Blackguards, alongside legendary warriors Aegon Rivers (also known as "Bittersteel"), Ser Quentyn Ball, and Ser Gormon Peake. Less than a year later, the First Blackfyre Rebellion began, and the Seven Kingdoms were thrust into civil war.

In 196 AC, during the Battle of Redgrass Field, Olyver fought shoulder-to-shoulder with Bittersteel against the Bloodraven. However, he became gravely injured when he abandoned the line in a failed attempt to rescue Rylon Greenmont. After the battle, Marzia Greenmont cared for him at their ancestral home. It took Olyver over a year to recover, wherein he swore his allegiance once more to House Greenmont, helping to care for a very sick Lord Lucos, and acting as Master-of-Arms.

A year after the battle of Redgrass Field, Olyver began training a new army for House Greenmont, teaching them to ride and fight in the Dornish tradition, with spear and halberd. During this time, a raven arrived to Fox Hollow, and he learned that his estranged father has become senile and frail, and that the new Warden of the Stone Way will likely be Olyver's younger brother, Horatio Yronwood, also known as "Horace the Horrible". Since then, there have been whispers that Olyver will abandon the Reach, break his exile, and return to Dorne to claim the Yronwood seat.

In 198 AC, at the start of the events of After the Fyre, Olyver traveled with a small band of Greenmont men, guarding Mara Greenmont on their journey to Old Oak, where she married Alester Oakheart. Though there was to be a grand tournament to be held at Old Oak in celebration of the marriage, Olyver at first claimed that he was too old to compete against younger knights, and that his tournament days are behind him. That changed after he learned of the death of Lord Lucos Greenmont, when his estranged brother Ser Horatio Yronwood insulted him at Lady Mara's wedding feast; Olyver promised to see his brother on the lists of the tournament.

Ser Olyver, despite his age, was nearly flawless as he bested a field of much younger knights to face his brother in the championship round of the tournament at Old Oak. The two brothers seemed evenly matched during the joust for several passes. On the third pass, Ser Olyver jousted with a red-and-black tourney lance that offended many Targaryan loyalists in the crowd for its display of the rebel Blackfyre's colors. At last, both Ser Olyver and Ser Horatio were unseated -- but Ser Horatio cheated by targeting Ser Olyver's neck with his lance and nearly killing him.

Despite the wound, Ser Olyver stayed in his saddle a few moments longer than his younger brother, winning the tournament. After the tourney, Ser Horatio took up a poisoned spear and attacked Ser Olyver. Olyver, despite his jousting wound, defeated his brother and spared his life, though he was poisoned by Horatio's spear. Before collapsing and being taken into the care of maesters, Ser Olyver crowned Lady Mara The Queen of Love and Beauty, his token for winning the tournament in her honor. And so Olyver became a four-time tourney champion at the unheard of age of 55.

After the tournament, Ser Olyver recovered from Horatio's poison and returned to find Fox Hollow increasing the Greenmont military to deal with the threat of bandits under the command of a Vulture King. He reconnected with Ser Alfred Wyld, and informed the young upjumped knight of a great secret: Alfred was the bastard son of Lord Lucos Greenmont.

Unable to convince Ser Alfred to seek legitimization to become the Lord of House Greenmont, Ser Olyver then turned to the pregnant Lady Marzia Greenmont. After several long discussions about Lord Lucos and the future of House Greenmont, Lady Marzia also rebuked the idea of her marrying Alfred and supporting his legitimization. Just when it seemed as though Marzia and Olyver would part ways, he proposed she marry him, support his claim to House Yronwood, and he would in turn support her claim to House Greenmont. Marzia accepted Olyver's proposal.

The next morning, Lord Olyver took twenty of his best men to go find and rescue his Godsdaughter, the young Lady Myria Greenmont, who had been kidnapped by Lord Edmyn Blackmont. Olyver swore on his life to not return to Fox Hollow without his Godsdaughter, and then rode out to cut off Lord Blackmont's return from Summerhall, choosing the foothills of the Dornish border northeast of House Blackmont to set his ambush. Olyver hunted Blackmont into Dorne and tracked him down to Vulture's Roost, where Blackmont had taken on the mantle of the Vulture King, leader of an army of well-trained soldiers-turned-bandit. Olyver convinced Blackmont to allow him to leave with Myria and her companion Daera, and the three of them left to seek asylum at Castle Yronwood while the rest of the Greenmont army returned to Fox Hollow.

During the travel to Castle Yronwood, Myria and Olyver caught up on lost times and their father/daughter bond was reforged. Upon reaching Yronwood, Olyver was surprised to be greeted so kindly by his aging parents, who welcomed him back from exile and took in Myria under the guise of Olyver's illegitimate daughter "Cassella Sand". Their few weeks together in Castle Yronwood was largely restful and full of laughter, as they shared stories, dancing lessons, and good Dornish food and music. Eventually, Olyver convinced his mother, who still harbored resentment against him for his years spent in the Reach, to allow him to lead the Yronwood armies to march upon Vulture's Roost. Olyver's plan was to take Lord Blackmont alive and force him to help clear Myria's name by testifying to Prince Maekar Targaryan that he had kidnapped the girl against her will. When Olyver rode away to lead his armies west, Myria stayed behind. During their goodbyes, Olyver promised to return soon and gave an old wooden music box to Myria, who in turn gave him a silver locket that he wore beneath his armor, close to his heart.

The Battle of Vulture's Roost proved more complicated and bloody than Olyver ever expected. After a failed parlay with Lord Alester Oakheart, commander of a number of armies from the Reach that had also arrived to capture Lord Blackmont, Olyver marched early on the ruined tower to ensure that Blackmont would be his. Before his forces could breach Vulture Roost's gate, however, the Oakheart and Peake armies attacked the Yronwood army from behind, driven by years of anti-Dornish resentment.

Despite being caught between a hammer and an anvil, Olyver led the Yronwood forces to victory, fending off the Reacher armies long enough to take Vulture's Roost. Olyver defeated Blackmont and captured him, but was badly wounded in his gut by a dirty blade wielded by Blackmont himself. After the battle, Lord Gormund Peake, Lord Tarly, and Lord Alester Oakheart argued over who would claim Lord Blackmont as a prisoner. While Olyver seemed to win the argument after it was made clear by an arriving messenger that Prince Maekar declared the Reacher host an illegal army. Despite the accord, when Olyver went to take Blackmont from his old friend, Lord Gormund Peake, Peake threw Blackmont from the top of the tower to his death and attempted to kill Olyver. Despite his wounds, Olyver bested Peake in single combat and slew him for his treachery.

After the battle, Olyver sent his armies back to Castle Yronwood and ordered his knight, Ser Francis Yronwood II, to take personal care of Myria until he returned. Olyver hid away with the Greenmont army and returned to Fox Hollow. There, he was secreted through the keep to see Marzia. Marzia and another nurse helped to tend to Olyver's wound, which had turned sour and terribly infected. During his time at Fox Hollow, he and Marzia traded stories of all that had happened since he left the house in search of Myria. Together, they attended the Festival of Lanterns and a Feast in honor of their house guests, Lord Costayne, Lord Alester Oakheart, and Marzia's parents, Lord and Lady Crane.

During the seven-course meal, Olyver announced publicly that he and Marzia were to be wed in the Dornish tradition, so that she would rule House Greenmont while he took over as Lord of House Yronwood. During the toast, Lord Alester stormed out of the hall. Marzia excused herself from the hall and was quickly followed by Lady Mara Oakheart. Alester returned several minutes later with thirty Oakheart and Tarly knights, breaking the sacred Guest Rite by killing a handful of Greenmont guards. Alester ordered Olyver to give himself up to be taken to Highgarden and tried for the murder of Lord Peake, but Olyver refused until he was certain that Marzia and her child were safe.

Lord Alester ordered his thirty knights to charge Olyver and the dozen Greenmont guards in the hall. Despite his infected wounds and being unarmored, Olyver cut down seven knights himself during the melee with only a halberd. Eventually, Olyver became overwhelmed and run through by Alester's sword. Pinned to the wall, Olyver shattered Alester's ankle with a blow and staggered away from the fight to search for Marzia.

Olyver found Marzia just outside of the banquet hall, screaming for the knights to stop their attack. Olyver then collapsed into Marzia's arms. With his dying breath, he embraced her and said, "Call the men. Do not let them get away with it!"

After Olyver's fierce last stand, the Greenmont guard rallied and drove the knights back from Fox Hollow, but Lord Alester Oakheart and Lady Mara were both able to escape and flee the valley on horseback.

Olyver was a fixture in the lives of House Greenmont for a long time. Notably, he and Lord Lucos Greenmont were long-time companions. There were several rumors regarding the nature of their friendship, including whispers of their having a secret affair, and that Olyver left the service of House Greenmont to take up the banner of Daemon Blackfyre after a lover's spat. As proof of this scandal, gossip mongers will often point to the fact that Olyver and Lady Alyse Blackmont, Lord Lucos's Dornish wife, were barely ever seen speaking to each other or acknowledging one another's presence at court.

After Lady Alyse died giving birth to Myria Greenmont, Olyver was named the girl's Godfather. Lord Lucos was distant with Myria, and Olyver became something of a father figure to her as she was growing up. He taught her how to ride horses, and told her many stories about Dorne's great houses and socio-politics. He sang to her spirited Dornish songs, and taught her how to dance in the Dornish tradition. Before leaving to become Kingsguard, he gave her a wooden psaltery engraved with the house sigils of both Greenmont and Yronwood beneath its strings. Olyver has claimed that Myria is the closest thing to a daughter that he will ever know.

Olyver was also close to the now deceased Greenmont brothers, Lann and Rylon, speaking often about how they were two halves of a coin, the best parts of their father -- Lord Lucos himself. He taught them both how to fight, ride, and wield a lance. Rylon proved less adept at fighting than his brother, so Olyver also taught him dance, at which Rylon excelled. After his defeat at Red Grass Field, Olyver returned to Fox Hollow and mourned the brothers' deaths with a vow of silence: one day for each year the noble young men had lived.

Near the end of his life, Olyver took an interest in Marzia Greenmont, after the young woman saved his life when he returned gravely wounded from the Battle of Red Grass Field. Their relationship was often uncomfortable at the start, but they managed to work closely together, tending to Lord Lucos's health and the others wounded during the Blackfyre Rebellions. After Lucos's death, Olyver and Marzia became betrothed in a political move meant to hold House Greenmont together.

Olyver's other closest friends at the start of the events of After the Fyre were House Greenmont's other two sworn knights: the increasingly senile, but kind Ser Donnel Babbelbrook, and the newly upjumped Ser Alfred. Olyver played pranks on the more naive Alfred, but also proved to be fiercely protective of the young knight.

Olyver had even less of a relationship with Symon Greenmont, whom he had not seen since he was a young boy two decades prior to the events of After the Fyre. During their short time together, Olyver taught Symon to ride a horse, and escorted him to the Citadel, rescuing him from bandits once during the journey.

Olyver did not known Mara as long as some of the others in Lucos's family, but there was a strong bond of trust and kinship between them, and he claimed many times that he saw her father's strength in her.

"My entire life, the vultures have circled me. Waiting for me to make a mistake, to prove that I am a traitor. I will give to them the last thing they ever expected from me: Justice."

"This world is full of stories of brave men doing brave things, for honor, for family, for the love of a beautiful woman. They are such nice stories. They are so much better than the truth."

"Myria is the closest thing to a daughter that the Gods will ever give me. I would tear up the earth for that girl. I would trample flowers. There is nothing that I would not do for her."

Ser Olyver Yronwood was an aging Westerosi knight, a well-known tournament champion, and a Dornish exile serving as the current Master-of-Arms for House Greenmont. During the First Blackfyre Rebellion, Ser Olyver was one of three knights that served under Daemon Blackfyre's unofficial Kingsguard, often referred to as the Blackguard.
